Large Cones: require mounting in a commercial cone plaque,
Clay pat or wire cone holder before use. Mounting height
and angle is critical for consistent results.
Separating Cone Pairs:
Cones are formed in pairs and can be separated by
grasping the base and gently twisting along parting line.
Use Of Cones:
Cones are used to witness the heat work applied to ceramic ware
by a kiln. Common practice is to use multiple sets of three,
consecutively numbered cones placed strategically throughout the
ware setting to cover a wide temperature range. The first cone
in the series is called the Guide cone, the second is the Firing cone,
and the last is the Guard cone. A cone will bend when it is heated
to within a time and temperature heating profile. A bending difference
of one cone or less throughout a kiln indicates good firing practice.
Interpretation of the cones bending point is of considerable aid for
making improvements to firing conditions and checking the
repeatability and uniformity of a kiln.
